Workshop 2 - MCAS Assessments & Curriculum Mapping

a. Identify 2-3 MCAS items that you would like to develop an activity or lesson on based upon student performance.

energy 1.JPGenergy 2.JPGenergy 3.JPG

b. Determine what Massachusetts curriculum science standard aligns to the test item. Record the standard number.

2. Conservation of Energy and Momentum
Central Concept: The laws of conservation of energy and momentum provide alternate approaches to predict and describe the movement of objects.
2.1 The law of conservation of energy.
2.2 Energy can be converted from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa.

c. Review your school or department's curriculum documents. Where in the curriculum do you address the standard?

These topics are addressed in the energy unit. This comes after the forces unit, which puts is at about have way through the year.

d. What instructional activities did you use during the last school year to teach your students?

Last year I used a lot of hands on activities that would allow students to experience firsthand the concepts being reviewed. For ESL students I also had them keep a science vocabulary book in which all vocabulary words were defined, used in a sentence and had a picture.

Workshop 5 - Developing and Using Web 2.0 Assessment Information

Using Activity 1and Glogster you will create a virtual CD case for your song. (You will make 2 glogs)
  1. You will create a CD case for your song/video.
    1. one Glog will be the front cover and should include:
      1. the band’s name
      2. an appropriate title for the CD
      3. four visuals one of which will be a video
    2. The second Glog will be the back cover and should include:
      1. your song title
      2. The titles of other 8 songs that reflect important ideas, issues, themes discussed in regards to bonding. ( you will not have to make create 8 songs…just the titles),
        1. In the song titles, at least 10 of the following must be mentioned:
          potential energy, kinetic energy, energy transfer, conservation of energy, joules, work, Gravitational Potential energy, chemical energy, motion, velocity, height, mechanical energy, thermal energy          ,


Workshop 6 - Scientific Investigations




Blackbox activity

Objective: Students will explore the words posted on the "black box" to try to recognize relationships/patterns and make inferences about what word is on the bottom of the box. This activity would be used as an introduction to heat transfer.

Assessment: Students will post to edmodo possible words that could be the “mystery word”, along with reasons why they believe this to be.

Task:
In groups, students will read the visible words on the box.
Students should discuss the meanings of the words that they are familiar with and try to make connections between the words.
Students should post responses to edmodo. They will also be required to respond to at least one postings made by classmates.
Materials: paper, scissors, tape/glue, activity cube template, Internet access

Stage 2 Activity:
Energy Skate Park Simulation
Access: Go to http://phet.colorado.edu., click on ‘Energy Skate Park’ simulation.
Objective: To examine the relationship between kinetic and potential energy.

Misconceptions: create a series of true/false or multiple choice questions that the students can answer in class using “poll anywhere” (http://www.polleverywhere.com/) to generate class discussion prior to the activity.


Task: Use phet simulation so students will discover the relationship between kinetic and potential energy


Procedure:
  1. Start with the ramp on Earth. Bring up the graphs of Energy vs. position, Energy vs. time, and the bar graph.
    1. How does the total energy change?
    2. How is the total energy related to the kinetic and potential energy?
  2. Change the shape of the ramp
    1. How has the shape changed?
    2. How does the total energy change?
    3. How is the total energy related to the kinetic and potential energy?
  3. Change the mass of the skater and examine the graphs again.
  4. Change the setting of the simulation from Earth to Space and repeat steps 1through 4
    1. What are the differences between Earth and space relative to the total energy
    2. What are the differences between Earth and space relative to the kinetic and potential energies

Workshop 7 - Lesson Plan Template


Lesson Plan
Your name: Sam Hoyo
Lesson Title: Kinetic and Potential Energy
Grade Level:10

State Standards:
2.2 Energy can be converted from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa.

Lesson Question:
What is kinetic and potential energy?
Is there only one kind of energy?
What are the differences between types of energy?
How are energy and work related?
How can kinetic and potential energy be identified in everyday situations?

Introduction: The law of Conservation of Energy is at the center of all science disciplines. The law of conservation of energy states that the energy of the universe remains constant, in other words the energy of the system does not change. In physics the energy of the system is called the mechanical energy and is made up of kinetic and potential energy.

Task: To use a simulation to discover the relationship between kinetic, potential and total mechanical energy in a system.

Process :
Access: Go to http://phet.colorado.edu., click on ‘Energy Skate Park’ simulation.
  1. Start with the ramp on Earth. Bring up the graphs of Energy vs. position, Energy vs. time, and the bar graph.
    1. How does the total energy change?
    2. How is the total energy related to the kinetic and potential energy?
  2. Change the shape of the ramp
    1. How has the shape changed?
    2. How does the total energy change?
    3. How is the total energy related to the kinetic and potential energy?
  3. Change the mass of the skater and examine the graphs again.
  4. Change the setting of the simulation from Earth to Space and repeat steps 1through 4
    1. What are the differences between Earth and space relative to the total energy
    2. What are the differences between Earth and space relative to the kinetic and potential energies
  5. Change the setting of the simulation from Space to Jupiter and repeat steps 1through 4
    1. What are the differences between Earth and Jupiter relative to the total energy
    2. What are the differences between Earth and Jupiter relative to the kinetic and potential energies
    3. How does the total energy change?
    4. How is the total energy related to the kinetic and potential energy?
Conclusion: After this lesson you should be able to discuss the differences between kinetic and potential energy, as well as the relationship between kinetic, potential and mechanical energy.
